8st 9lb |
Impressive last year on first two 2yo starts, winning Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on the second occasion; underwhelming favourite in the Group 2 Lowther (6f, good) in August and needs more than when second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (5.5f, firm), but she remains very lightly raced and could have more to offer now back at a bare 5f. |

took keen hold, raced far side, led narrowly or disputed lead, ridden over 2f out, edged right over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, no extra final 110yds (trainer said, regarding the poor form shown, filly may have been unsuited by the step up in trip to 6f) |

9st 6lb |
Won Meydan Group 2 in February 2021 and returned from long absence with creditable fifth in last June's Group 1 King's Stand; some further solid runs in defeat since, most recently fourth of 15 in Group 3 at Meydan in March, but it seems likely he'll again find a few too good today. |

Just one win in Group company, at Meydan in 2021, but often had a say in big sprints over the years and was beaten just a neck in this race in 2019 (good to firm; sole C&D start); not quite on song in Dubai this year but thereabouts on best form. |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins in progressive 2022 (including on fast ground) and has continued to improve this spring, kicking off with 5f handicap wins at Lingfield (AW) and Pontefract (soft) before close second in Group 3 Palace House at Newmarket (5f, soft); this front-runner could be bang there once more. |

Front-runs; made good progress at 5f and after just holding on from Arecibo on AW in March the difference between them was more marked at Pontefract (soft; has won on good to firm); less favourably treated today, and Sean Kirrane can't claim an allowance, but is still moving forward. |

Soft ground may not have been ideal in the Group 3 Palace House on reappearance and he went close in the same race last year (5f, good); of interest on that performance but he's been unable to reproduce that form subsequently (including when fifth in this 12 months ago). |

There were a couple of blips in Group races last season but he may not have handled the track at Goodwood and very soft ground might not have suited in the Abbaye at Longchamp; enjoyed a progressive campaign otherwise, winning a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good) in September, and this 4yo could still have more to offer for his top trainer; firmly in calculations. |

Unplaced favourite in Group 1 Nunthorpe (5f, good to firm) last August and also needs to produce more than when third in French Group 3 (5f, soft) last September, when last seen; however, before those she was extremely impressive in a Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo could tap back into that abundant promise following a break. |

Better than ever on AW earlier this year, with two 6f Listed wins, and transferred that improvement back to turf when fourth in the Group 2 Duke Of York (6f, good) last week; that run can be upgraded as he was denied a clear run, and there can be optimism he'll be fine back down to 5f; each-way claims. |

Having been off since last June he was below his best in the Group 3 Palace House (5f, soft) three weeks ago; however, the ground wasn't in his favour and he has leading claims on last year's peak form, when second in both this (good) and the Group 1 King's Stand (5f, good to firm); key player. |

Proved mettle in Group company in 2022, finishing a close fifth in this race 12 months ago, and later having several of these behind when best of the rest behind the Australian winner in Group 1 King's Stand (good to firm) on most recent start last June; bang there if fit for the fray. |

Not at his very best on final few runs last season and same story this year, initially in Dubai; however, his fourth in the Group 3 Palace House (5f, soft) three weeks ago was a step back in the right direction and he could build on it now back on better ground; won C&D Listed race (good) and Sandown Group 3 (5f, good to firm) last season and he's not ruled out. |

Never found a way in Meydan this year but impressed on good to firm last summer, picking up nicely to win Sandown Group 3 then only just failed to get up in a Group 2 at Goodwood; not disgraced in Group 1s on soft/very soft after; up there with the best of them. |

Career-best handicap form last autumn, including easy C&D win (good to soft); pulled hard when down the field on reappearance in Group 3 Palace House (5f, soft) and the first-time hood could help him settle; seems versatile ground-wise and further improvement is possible, but necessary in this field. |

Has popped up with the odd big run in 5f Group 1s, such as when third at 200-1 in last June's King's Stand; good Listed fourth at Meydan in January but not at the same level in Dubai the next twice and he's been beaten on his last 18 starts going back to August 2020; others make greater appeal. |

Enjoyed excellent 2yo campaign, including in Group 1s when receiving lots of weight from older horses, finishing second in the Nunthorpe (5f, good to firm) and winning the Abbaye (5f, very soft); can be excused Breeders' Cup flop; sold out of Richard Fahey's yard for 1,200,000gns in November; carries 5lb penalty on return but this front-runner has to be respected. |
